However, traditional synthesis methods generate contaminants that cause cytotoxicity and compromise the biocompatibility of the nanomaterials. Therefore, green synthesis methods are essential to produce pure and biocompatible nanoparticles, ensuring their effectiveness in biomedical applications. This study introduces a novel approach for synthesizing silica-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNP@SiO₂) using femtosecond laser ablation in water, eliminating the need for chemical reagents. The process involves three key laser-based steps: Si ablation, SiNP@SiO₂ fragmentation, and Au ablation, all conducted in a liquid environment. The resulting AuNP@SiO₂ were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential measurements. The results demonstrated that the AuNP@SiO₂ nanoparticles exhibit high colloidal stability, with a notably negative zeta potential of (-72.0 ± 0.3) mV, effectively preventing particle aggregation. TEM analysis confirmed predominantly spherical nanoparticles with an average diameter of (15.87 ± 0.70) nm, encapsulated by a SiO₂ layer ranging from 1 to 3 nm in thickness. The synthesis approach produced nanoparticles with an average size distribution below 35 nm. This green synthesis method not only produces stable and well-characterized AuNP@SiO₂ nanoparticles but also represents a significant step towards more sustainable nanomaterial production, with promising implications for biomedical applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11772632/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a novel silver-zinc oxide-eugenol (Ag+ZnO+EU) nanocomposite, specifically designed to enhance antimicrobial activity and promote wound healing. The nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized using advanced analytical techniques, confirming its nanoscale structure, stability and chemical composition. The Ag+ZnO+EU nanocomposite demonstrated potent antimicrobial efficacy against a range of wound associated pathogens, including standard and clinical isolates of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and <i>Candida albicans</i>. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of Ag+ZnO+EU for standard and clinical isolates were significantly lower than those of the individual components, highlighting the synergistic effect of the nanocomposite. Time-kill assays revealed rapid microbial eradication, achieving complete sterility within 240-min. Importantly, the nanocomposite effectively eliminated persister-like cells, which are typically resistant to conventional treatments, suggesting a potential solution for persistent infections. In vitro scratch assays using human keratinocyte cells demonstrated that the Ag+ZnO+EU nanocomposite significantly accelerated wound closure, with near-complete healing observed within 24-h, indicating enhanced cell migration and tissue regeneration. Additionally, the nanocomposite showed potential antidiabetic effects by increasing glucose uptake up to 97.21% in an in vitro assay using 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxy-D-glucose, a fluorescent glucose analog, suggesting potential applications beyond wound healing.

Intracellular delivery to <i>h</i>LECs, especially to sub-cellular organelles (e.g., mitochondrion and nucleus), is a key step in engineering cells for cell- and gene- based therapies. Despite a broad variety of nano- and microparticles can enter cells, their spatial characteristics relevant to cellular uptake and localization remains elusive. To investigate cellular internalization of nanostructures in <i>h</i>LECs, herein, DNA nanotechnology was exploited to precisely fabricate four distinct, mass-controlled DNA-origami nanostructures (DONs) through computer-aided design. Ensembled DONs included the rods, ring, triangle, and octahedron with defined geometric parameters of accessible surface area, effective volume, compactness, aspect ratio, size and vertex number. Atomic force microscopy and agarose gel electrophoresis showed that four DONs self-assembled within 3.5h with up to 59% yield and exhibited structural intactness in cell culture medium for 4 h. Flow cytometry analysis of four Cy5-labelled DONs in <i>h</i>LECs HLE-B3 found time-dependent cellular uptake over 2 h, among which the octahedron and triangle had higher cellular accumulation than the rod and ring. More importantly, the vertex number among other geometric parameters was positively correlated with cellular entry. Confocal images further revealed that four DONs had preferential localization at mitochondria to nucleus at 2 h in HLE-B3 cells, and the degree of their biodistribution varied among DONs as evidenced by Manders’ correlation coefficient. This study demonstrates the DONs dependent cellular uptake and intracellular compartment localization in <i>h</i>LECs, heralding the future design of structure-modulating delivery of nanomedicine for ocular therapy.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-025-04188-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142995669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combining these treatments can improve outcomes, though radiotherapy faces limitations such as radiation resistance and low selectivity for malignant cells.
